    Did some reserch, this don't look too great :

    To reduce their chances of being discovered, intruders distribute their attack across computers in different time zones, different legal jurisdictions, and with different systems administrators. Intruders also make the electronic traffic they create appear to be from a computer different from the one that actually created it. This is called IP spoofing, and it is a commonly used method to disguise where an attack is really coming from. If the source of the attack is unknown, it is difficult to stop it, giving intruders free reign with a high likelihood of successfully remaining anonymous.

    If the people doing it are reallythese people, i highly doubt they have the brains to actually do all of that. Especially since DDoSing is very easy to do in the first place. But since it's against the law, FBI will probably be called in and it will be found out who did this eventually, and they will be put in jail for a good 5 or more years.

    I've been checking the FW Forums and It seems they have a Beef with the FW Admins. According to the "Team" that is responsible for such attacks until a Admin Contacts them They are going to keep all east Coast Servers down. They Claim to be Romanians Thats as far as I can read in the forums from them

    Hm.. Kritty's comment on it.
    "In reality, large ones can affect even Google. The only thing they can really do is hope that one of similar strength doesn't happen again."

    I honestly don't have a clue about DDoS, or computer in general, and I don't know if there is a way to fix it.. But I was texting kritty for a bit and since he knows more about computers I take his word for it. b:surrender

    I'm sure Kritty is right about something similar coming up. I'm sure someone is cooking up something identical to this problem just a tad worse. It's just how it is.


    And for those who don't know what DDoS is here's a link explaining what it does.

    Well, here's hoping that the guy doing it is an idiot.

    In other news, I can't connect to the Ether Saga east coast server either. Is it just PW games in general?

    Only thing I wonder at this point: What makes people irrate enough to risk prison time over a video game....

    Heh... who said it was irritation? Some people might do it just out of boredom.

    My bet is its some 46 year old fat slob living in his parents basement, getting a ***** right now cause we can't log on.

    You guys do know how easy it is to "try" to DDoS someone right?

    Any 12 year old kid with access to Google and has a few friends can DDoS a server.

    Frankie, If I were you I wouldn't give any compensation for the downtime. Ever since you announced 2x drops for the 20minutes of downtime yesterday it has been worse and worse.
    The people obviously still play the game and are just trying to get something out of it.

    It's every game and every server.... That has been stated so many times it's not even funny. This attack doesn't involved our game GMs finding out who it is, and this doesn't really involve PWE as they do not control their servers, their ISP (host) does. So here's to the ISP finding out what's going on and dealing with it. b:surrender

    wouldnt that mean its not exactly illegal in some of the possible regions the attacks could be coming from? o3o

    Well the PWI servers are in the USA, and since they are one of the games being attacked, I would assume no matter where the DDoSers are, they will be held under the US (UK too since it's illegal there) laws.

    I don't think they're doing it because they're pissed off about the new expansion. I think they're doing it out of pure pleasure and boredom. It's what people do and eventually they'll get what's coming to them.
